    Great sculpture called Dama del Manzanares or Head of Ariadne. Elevated on the viewpoint of the Watchtower, the figure represents the head of a woman looking north, that is, towards the center of Madrid. It is thirteen meters tall and weighs eight tons. It was made by the Valencian sculptor Manolo Valdés in 2003.

    The Lady of the Manzanares, the iconic sculpture located in the Manzanares Linear Park.

    The sculpture stands at the highest point of Section I of the Manzanares Linear Park (also known as Bofill Park), specifically on the artificial hill called La Atalaya, near the southern interchange of the M-30 motorway in the Usera/Puente de Vallecas district.

    Created by the Valencian artist Manolo Valdés, one of the founders of Equipo Crónica, it depicts a woman's head looking north, towards the center of Madrid, as a tribute to the Manzanares River.
